MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126843 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 15, 2025, for 'self-aware robotics system with pain-based cognitive modelling.'
Inventor(s) include Siddharth Arora.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a self-aware robotics system with pain-based cognitive modelling that integrates biologically inspired sensing, adaptive learning, and ethical decision-making to achieve autonomous resilience and self-protection. The system comprises an Interoceptive Sensor Layer for monitoring internal parameters such as thermal load, mechanical strain, energy depletion, and circuit stability; a Signal Pre-processing and Feature Extraction Module for cleaning and normalizing raw sensor data; and a Cognitive Pain Modelling (CPM) Module that fuses normalized features into a unified Pain Index. A Context and Mission Manager evaluates mission urgency and environmental constraints to compute effective pain values, which are processed by an Ethical Decision Engine to select appropriate self-protective actions. A Reinforcement Learning and Adaptation Module continuously updates thresholds and learning parameters, while a Maintenance and Reporting Interface generates diagnostic logs and predictive reports."
